More rear weight

Raise the right side of the J bar
Lower the front of the upper 3 link bar

I RACED A DIRT TRACK CAR OUT HERE AT PERRIS VALLEY.... MY BUDDY WHO NORMALLY RUNS IT CRACKED 3 RIBS IN A CAR ACCIDENT, SO I OFFERED TO STRAP IN... IVE RACED A FEW DIFFERENT CLASSES AT STREETS AT WILLOW IN NORTHERN CAL. DIRT IS WAYYYYYYY DIFFERENT..... YOU GUYS HAVE MY UTMOST RESPECT FOR WHAT YOU CAN DO I COULDNT GET THAT CAR TO SETTLE TO SAVE MY LIFE, AND WHEN THEY ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG ALLI COULD SAY WAS THE *** END WAS LOOSE AS HELL

 

your always on the verge of spinnin out in a dirt car..yuo have to be loose enough but not too loose that your loosin ground wich im doing now...im just as fast as the fastest cars going down the straightaway and goin in the corner but they get me coming out of the corner...i just say **** it and floor it coming out..its the only way i can keep up..ive had alot of people tell me my tires are smokin comin out of the corners

 

DAMN... LIKE I SAID.... I HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR THAT..... I HAVE LOGGED ALOT OF ROAD COURSE TIME.... NOTHING COMPARES TO THE AMOUNT OF SKILL IT TAKES TO KEEP A DIRT CAR ON THE TRACK....

LETS JUST SAY I WAS SLOWER THAN EVERYBODY OUT THERE..... EVERY TIME I FLOORED IT IN THE TURNS I WOUND UP ALMOST SIDEWAYS.


SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO TAKE YOU OFF TOPIC....


IF IM EVER IN TAHT AREA I MAY HAVE TO STOP BY AND SEE YOU IN ACTION. I AM REALLUY INTERESTED IN THE TUNING ASPECT OF THOSE THINGS.... THEY ARE REALLY BITCHEN MACHINES

 

its crossed my mind to stick some 4.10 gears in it and take it to a road coarse in tulsa..i know a few guys have done it..yes they are bitchen machines haha..ive had alot of people ask me how they accelerate and i just say how my truck accelerates from a 25 punch with the n2o is what its like coming out of a corner and at 75 and get to 95 in a 2-3 seconds..they do accelerate..on the mustang dyno it does a pull from 3000 rpm to 7500 in 3 seconds...tuning the suspension can be a nightmare and still is..all differents kinds of shocks and springs and tires sizes and compounds..each corner of the car has a different tire size, shock, spring and ride heights..

 

What kind of track conditions are you trying to setup for? Dry slick I'm guessing, so you need more of an asfalt like setup. If you smoking the rr, you need to get that lr working for ya a little more. Maybe a softer shock there. I'm guessing you have 4's on the back now anyway. More cross weight would help that to. Can you sype your tires?

 

im smokin both..on the right rear i got an afco 94 and on the left rear i gotta afco 93/5..im running a j-bar from the left side of the frame to the pinion..not from the right side like most asfalt cars..the car does have body roll to it and occasionally pulls the left front around 2-4 inches when it does hook up..typically in hot laps and heat race when its tacky..im runnin 50.5% cross in it now and 54% rear..two things i am changing right now is the 3rd link.. i was told by several people that im running too much angle..i used to have the bar up two holes and i had no problems with this..and its one thing i completely forgot about..i guess some time after my wreck i guess i put it back down in the lower hole..i do sipe my tires..another thing with my tires on my grooving that im changing to hopefully get more forward bite..i originally grooved the horizontal lines at an angle like the tire on the left and now im regrooving actuall horizontal lines on them ..like the tire i just got done with on the right
and yes for you guys wondering i did groove those freehand with a groovin iron
